Acknowledgments
Much thanks to Stacy Hiquet and Joseph Wikert at Prentice Hall
(Que) for trusting me completely with the direction and style of this
book. The rest of my editors: Kezia Endsley, Bryan Gambrel, and the
Technical Editor, Tim Moore, kept me on track so the readers can
have an accurate and readable text.
The Tulsa Junior College administration continues to be sup-
portive of my writing. More importantly, Diane Moore, head of our
Business Services Division, Tony Hirad, and Elaine Harris, are
friends who make teaching a joy and not a job.
As always, my beautiful bride Jayne, and my parents Glen and
Bettye Perry, are my closest daily companions. It is for them I work.
